Here's Clarissa in a cornfield :)

Took Clarissa away from her natural habitat today and did a little green laning. Since I cleaned the carburetor and put new points in, she's running so nice!

OK, the results are in! Before I started, I checked the ignition timing. It was exactly 10 degrees so I guess my harmonic balancer is where it should be. I replaced all the ignition parts and timed it with both a strobe and a vacuum gauge. The further I increased the advance the higher the...

Ah right! Makes sense if you stop and think about it! :-)

Great information. Thanks! The part description of the power valve in the diagram for the R6368 is "56-6" so I assume that it is rated at 5.6"Hg. My rebuild kit has arrived and a power valve is included. It is stamped with a number 25, so I don't know what that means. If the old valve looks to...

I also don't think it's the issue, I just don't want to replace the existing power valve with one out of the rebuild kit if there's a risk that it may have the wrong vacuum rating. I'll start off with just cleaning and replace as few parts as possible to keep the number of variables low. Thanks...

As the stumble is a new phenomena I'm assuming that the basic accelerator pump settings are ok. I hope I just need to clean the respective ports. But I've considered to move it to a different slot if all else fails. If my rebuild kit arrives on time I may be able to get into it this weekend. I...

That's great information. Thank you! Edit: I'm in Germany and all cars post 1969 get an emissions test.

Thanks! The issue I have is that when I get on the gas quickly, it'll stumble for a second, like it has no fuel. This is something new, just since she came out of winter "sleep". Last year the response was crisp. I'm guessing the fuel has gummed something up over winter, maybe the accelerator...

Thanks! I've been googling stuff for hours. I understand the carb number is a R6368A (according to the manual). I can find the R6368 in an online parts diagram (without the A suffix) and that seems to show a #65 on the pump side and a #63 on the choke side. Sound plausible? The #65 matches what...

Hi all Can anyone help me with the main jet size for a 1972 400 2 Barrel Carb? I believe this is a Holley 2210? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, it's original. It doesn't look new/replaced.

@ayilar Sorry for the late reply. Here some pics of the trim around the window. Hope that's what you're looking for.

Hey Carsten, just finished the August edition and really enjoyed reading about your cars. Very nice! Thanks for sharing all that! But...... No C Body!!! ;-)

:thumbsup: That is a fantastic photo! Very well done!
